Putting the 'social into the 'media'

This is effectively our first blog post and here at the LATC, we wanted to start as we mean to go on. We chose to write about something useful and which doesn't cost anything. For quite some time now, everybody has been chatting about how great a resource social media can be. We agree!! When done in the most appropriate way, social media such as Youtube or Facebook can add a lot of value to the old lesson plans. Having used Tiktok for some time now, we think the site is a really effective way of introducing students and other visitors to a website with a high quality visual presentation of ideas and events. We are therefore encouraging everyone to send us your short and quirky videos so that we can add them to our site. By the way, if you're stuck for ideas, if you don't already know, Canva is great for designing videos and presentations! Get cracking on making videos which not only promote your fun activities, but use the opportunity to reach-out to your community! ​The best submissions will win a mystery prize!
